Chapter 145 System Upgrade
The stranger who was driving dropped Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao off at the entrance of the residential area and then hurriedly went back to continue the banquet.
The fact that the host of the victory celebration has returned home does not mean that the banquet is over.
Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao, who had been abandoned, walked side by side in the residential area.
The warm breeze of early summer blows by, carrying a touch of comfort.
The two had only walked a few steps when they saw a banner hanging on a street lamp in the community.
No need to ask, it's still a banner celebrating Lin Chen's top score in the college entrance examination.
Lin Chen smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect even this place to be destroyed."
"He's the top scorer in the country, no wonder his uncle and aunt are so happy."
"If we win the gold medal in the math Olympiad, will they pull the same trick again?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, there are gold medals in the International Mathematical Olympiad every year. Last year, the school only had banners hanging for a few days."
"That's good, I can't handle doing it again..."
Lin Chen nodded, then couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaoxiao, you can fill out your college application tomorrow, right? Have you decided which major you want at Longke University?"
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and said, "Want to know? Then come home with me."
"Back to your house?"
Lin Chen immediately started thinking and nodded without hesitation.
Soon, the two arrived at Chen Xiaoxiao's house.
Today, Chen Cheng is in Beijing, Meng Lan is in Nanjing, and Chen Xiaoxiao's home is quiet.
They were alone together, and they had been drinking.
Chen Xiaoxiao took him home.
Is it possible that the two are finally going to take that step?
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao go straight into her bedroom, Lin Chen followed her in with a silly grin.
But when he entered the bedroom, he was immediately stunned.
This was the first time he had entered Chen Xiaoxiao's room.
But he never expected that his girlfriend's bedroom would be completely different from what he had imagined.
Chen Xiaoxiao's room is completely different from the princess's boudoir in TV dramas.
There weren't many dolls or puppets inside, but the walls were covered with space-themed posters.
From ancient illustrations of flying legends to high-resolution photos of the modern Shenzhou spacecraft traveling in space.
"This……"
Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Xiaoxiao walked to the window, her fingers gently tracing a poster of a rocket launch, her eyes filled with longing:
"Lin Chen, my dream is to explore the stars and the sea, so I want to apply for an aerospace-related major."
"Why do you like this?"
Lin Chen was a little puzzled. Aerospace engineering sounded like it was related to mechanics, while the vast universe seemed more like a man's romance.
He never expected that the girl he liked would want to learn this.
"When I was a child, my dad took me to see a rocket launch once. You can't imagine how amazing that scene was!"
Such a huge rocket, it actually managed to fly out of Earth and into space!
Lin Chen could see the sparkle in Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes.
In his previous life, he had met many girls with eccentric tastes.
But no one's hobbies are as unique as Chen Xiaoxiao's.
She's clearly a beautiful woman who could easily be a star, yet she yearns for the stars and the sea...
This is the girl I like!
Lin Chen smiled slightly, just about to say that he also wanted to apply for the same major as her.
Chen Xiaoxiao turned around first, her gaze firm yet gentle:
"Lin Chen, I know what you want to say. We are already incredibly lucky to have gone to high school and then university together."
But from now on, we should each have our own lives and pursue our own unique dreams.
The stars and the sea are my dream, but not yours. You can't give up your life for me.
Lin Chen frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
But soon, his eyes became clear and understanding.
He gently squeezed Chen Xiaoxiao's hand, a warm smile appearing on his lips.
"You're right, Xiaoxiao."
I understand now. You've always been so opinionated and have such a long-term vision.
I support you and believe you will definitely reach for the stars in the future.
I will also strive to make a name for myself.
……
This year's International Mathematical Olympiad, or IMO for short, will be held in Melbourne, Australia.
More than 100 countries sent teams to participate in the competition.
On this day, Lin Chen and his teammates from the math Olympiad team departed from Beijing by plane.
When he set off, Professor Wu from Tsinghua and Peking Universities came to see him off in person.
Upon learning of Mr. Wu's identity, the rest of the math Olympiad team members were deeply moved.
This is an academician from the Longke Academy!
He actually saw them off in person?
But only Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao knew that Old Wu was still up to his old tricks.
Although the college entrance examination registration has ended, he had obviously started considering sending Lin Chen to Tsinghua or Peking University for graduate studies four years in advance.
"Lin Chen, it's winter in Australia right now, the seasons are the opposite of ours. Have you brought enough clothes?"
"That's enough! That's enough!"
Faced with Wu Lao's influence, Lin Chen could only smile wryly.
"Professor Wu, I know what you're thinking, but it's still a long way from when I'm ready to start graduate school!"
"That's not necessarily true. I have a feeling that you might finish your undergraduate degree soon, Lin Chen. If you're going to pursue a master's degree, why don't you consider Tsinghua or Peking University?"
"Cough cough..."
Nearby, several teachers from Tsinghua and Peking Universities who were on the math Olympiad team suddenly coughed violently.
They couldn't stand that the big shots from their own school were being so humble to Lin Chen, and their expressions became rather strange.
Fortunately, Old Wu could only pester Lin Chen to go to the security checkpoint.
After that, everyone boarded the plane.
Even by plane, it takes 12 hours to fly from Beijing to Melbourne.
When we arrived at our destination, there was still a 3-hour time difference.
So as soon as he boarded the plane, Lin Chen closed his eyes and entered the dream laboratory to read and pass the time.
But at this moment...
"Ding! Congratulations, host. The system has been upgraded and several new functions have been developed. Please check back as soon as possible."
In his dream, Lin Chen put down the book in his hand, his face full of surprise.
Is this stupid system finally upgraded?
Since the day the college entrance exam results were released, Lin Chen's system has been continuously upgrading.
He originally thought the system upgrade would be completed in a few hours.
But to my surprise, the upgrade took several whole days.
Lin Chen quickly opened the system interface, wanting to see what functions the system had upgraded.
Upon opening the system panel, the first thing Lin Chen saw was a new bounty mission icon next to the entrance of the Academic Master Shop.
However, just as Lin Chen was about to go in and take a look, he noticed a prominent exclamation mark on the icon of the Academic Master Shop!
The exclamation mark was like a red dot in a mobile game, which made Lin Chen unable to resist clicking on the store to take a look.
Everything in the top student shop remained the same, seemingly unchanged.
But Lin Chen noticed that there was a new, eye-catching product in the first row and first column of the store.
"System Assistant. Exchange Price: 100 Academic Points."
"100 academic points! You won't regret buying this! After purchase, you'll unlock the system assistant function, which will become your helpful assistant, planning the most reasonable way to use the system and providing solutions to various system problems!"
"PS: There is also a value-added service: for an extra 100 academic points, you can customize the system assistant's personality!"
